Abstract

Der Mathematiker und Statistiker E. J. Gumbel führte eine Doppelexistenz - als Mathematiker und Statistiker von 1923 bis zu seiner Vertreibung 1932 an der Universität Heidelberg und als politischer Autor. Auch im Exil in Frankreich behielt er diese Doppeltätigkeit bei, verfasste mathematische Arbeiten und publizierte Artikel gegen das NS-Regime in Exil-Zeitschriften. Sein Hauptwerk "Statistics of Extremes" erschien 1958 in New York (eine Reprint-Ausgabe 2013). Die "Wiederentdeckung" des "politischen Gumbel" begann 2012 und fast zeitgleich die "Wiederentdeckung" des "mathematischen Gumbel". Die Anwendungen der "Gumbel Distribution" und der Gumbel-Copula zur Modellierung stochastischer Abhängigkeiten weckten das Interesse an der Person Gumbel und seinen Leistungen. Im Artikel werden neue Forschungsergebnisse zu E. J. Gumbel vorgestellt.
